What is the advantage of a LED light for landscape lighting?

The Bulbs are energy saving and are rated for 50,000 hours vs regular 2000 - 3000 regular halogen bulbs

We bought 2 of these LED outdoor lights, and they illuminate the carport and backyard path areas very well.

My outdoor lighting does not have dimming capability, so I really don't know. I control my brightness by modifying the wattage of the bulbs I use. These bulbs are comparable to a 4 watt standard landscape bulb, and at 1 watt it would be hard for me to believe that you would want or could get them any dimmer without them turning off! I have much larger led bulbs in my home on appropriate dimmers, and when I attempt to dim them significantly the led's just turns off.

These lights are cool dissipation from LED. great lights for almost any environment. I'm using them outside, to light up my palms and other trees and it looks nice. the one with the remote you are able to change strobe or colors. highly recommended.

Each light comes with 12 inches of wiring with a connector that connects to your main landscape wiring. The connector is of higher quality than the one that comes on Malibu lights. You have to buy and install the main landscape wiring and a low voltage transformer to run your lights.

I don't believe so. I used this in landscape lighting... Based on its price and the fact that they don't highlight the feature, suspect it won't dim

I would chose the 60* option. The LED lights do not have as wide of a field of light as a halogen light. The amp draw is low so you can add more lights to compensate.

No I couldn't depend on two of them to operate landscape lighting from dusk to dawn! Sorry that was my experience.

Alot depends on the size of the existing lamps (PAR38 100w?) and the height at which the fixture will be placed. Since it sounds as though this is for the function of the deck Vs just security I would go with a higher output. Haveing said that I would definetly reccommend LED for energy conservation and they attract "less" bugs. Good Luck

I find the quality of the 9 inch LED very good in daylight, It is ok at night, but I do have a motion light on my porch that comes on and the LED will be in color making it a better picture.

Per the description, this bulb is 10-30 volt DC. If your landscape lighting is DC (working off of a battery), it would work. But if your lighting plugs into a household plug, it is AC and you will need a bulb that runs off AC power.Use the search for led bulbs for landscape lighting. There are some that are 12V AC that might work. I don't know what kind of base your lights take.

I didn't found any lumen rating on the packaging box, but I compared this LED light, versus Zenon and halogen and the difference is impressive. LED illumination is greater, the only disadvantage is the physical space need it on the installation, I recommend LED lighting

Hi Meg.The main advantages of the LED bulbs are the low power consumption. You're looking at 50-60W per bulb with a halogen kit, and 5W or less with the LED bulbs. The also don't produce any forward facing heat, or UV/IR radiation that will dull and fade furniture over time.I have 4 of these in a track above my kitchen (instead of down lights) and I love them. I also have 3 of these acting as spotlights in the entrance way to my house. People can't tell the difference, but if you use the bulbs a lot, LED's are going to net you a much bigger saving, and identical light!Thanks!

I appreciate the response. Was looking for a white colored solar light in our backyard patio area that was both good looking and wouldn't go "bright" every time a person moved/motion was detected. I'll keep looking.

perhaps your are considering attaching this to a low voltage landscape lighting system.

I use them by the fish ponds to focus light across the water, and in the garden I use them to light the walkways and the plants, a soft light, well worth the price and so easy to angle both the light and the solar. I plan on buying more..

Not for 3 or more acres, you would need several But for a smaller property fine I have three with one more coming . Because of its several light spectrums listed right on the box it works as a good security or decorative light. Easier on your eyes than others, making things look as they are clearly, but by itself its not a long distance light by itself, but considering it's only 30 watts and probably uses less. not a bad light .But of course that all depends on your needs.
